<p>The prime purpose of a <a class="link" href="gobject-Value-arrays.html#GValueArray" title="struct GValueArray"><span class="type">GValueArray</span></a> is for it to be used as an
object property that holds an array of values. A <a class="link" href="gobject-Value-arrays.html#GValueArray" title="struct GValueArray"><span class="type">GValueArray</span></a> wraps
an array of <a class="link" href="gobject-Generic-values.html#GValue" title="GValue"><span class="type">GValue</span></a> elements in order for it to be used as a boxed
type through <a class="link" href="gobject-Generic-values.html#G-TYPE-VALUE-ARRAY:CAPS" title="G_TYPE_VALUE_ARRAY"><code class="literal">G_TYPE_VALUE_ARRAY</code></a>.</p>

using the size of <a class="link" href="gobject-Generic-values.html#GValue" title="GValue"><span class="type">GValue</span></a> as the element size, and by setting
<a class="link" href="gobject-Generic-values.html#g-value-unset" title="g_value_unset ()"><code class="function">g_value_unset()</code></a> as the clear function using <a href="../glib-Arrays.html#g-array-set-clear-func"><code class="function">g_array_set_clear_func()</code></a>,
